DirectFB released a CVS-snapshot here's the link http://directfb.org/snapshots/DirectFB-2004-10-10.tar.gz I'm using DirectFB for TV-out on a matrox-card with mplayer, but the version in portage doesn't work with a 2.6-kernel. The CVS-snapshot has support for newer kernels and worked for me. So an new ebuild would be fine. :) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
DirectFB 0.9.21 is out, so this should not be needed anymore...
also, we dont normally do this kind of thing unless it's really needed, it's bad form
